The thrilling sequel to the two extremely popular Harry Potter books has been released. Just like the previous two books, it contains all the wonder and excitement that has given the series so much success. This book presents a new challenge to Harry Potter, and that challenge is wonderfully described in rich detail, giving an almost movie-like experience.

This time, Harry Potter meets a convicted serial killer, Sirius Black. Strange events start to happen at Hogwarts, and Harry, like always, goes to investigate. In the most thrilling part of the book, Harry meets Sirius Black face-to-face, and discovers a truth that shocks him beyond his wildest dreams.

Again, this book thrills readers, and fills them with wonder, excitement, and sometimes, lots of emotion. This book can make you laugh, it can make you cry, it can make you throw up, and it can most certainly make your ears fill with red steam. But what's very cool about the Harry Potter series is that no matter what emotion the book makes you feel, you always just can't put the book down. Just a few days ago, my mom caught me reading this very book at 12 in the morning, and she shouted herself crazy. So again, like I said before, I think the Harry Potter series is bewitched to make you want to read them. But as we are all Muggles anyway, we can't do anything about it, can we? Happy reading then, I guess...
